LEE HANSON.L telephone! I was interviewed at his residence and voluntarily provided the following information: HANSON received a telephone call at his residence from his son, PETER BURTON HANSON, Date of Birth: 01/24/1969, Place of Birth: Bridgeport, CT. sometime before 9:00 A.M. this morning. His son indicated that the plane on which he was presently a passenger was being hijacked. LEE HANSON asked whether his son was joking but he knew from the serious tone in his voice that he wasn't. PETER HANSON repeated that his plane was being hijacked Indicating "I think they've taken over the cockpit...an attendant has been stabbed...and someone else up front may have been killed. The plane is making strange moves. Call United Airtines,..Tell them it's Flight 175, Boston to LA." LEE HANSON noted that his son was talking in a low tone, but not whispering. He believed his son was calling from his cellular telephone, which number he provided as 617 921-1006. LEE HANSON immediately phoned the Easton Police Department and spoke with Captain James Candee. He told Captain Candee about the substance of the call and asked for any assistance Candee could provide. Within a matter of minutes, LEE HANSON received a second telephone call from his son. He recalled his son saying the following: "It's getting bad, Dad...A stewardess was stabbed—they seem to have knives and mace...They said they have a bomb...It's getting very bad on the plane...passengers are throwing up and getting sick...the plane is making jerky movements...! don't think the pilot is flying the plane...I think we're going down...l think they intend to go to Chicago or someplace and fly Into a building." LEE HANSON said he heard noise of a woman screaming in the background. PETER HANSON continued, "Don't worry, Dad...if it happens it'll be very fast"

LEE HANSON said the call ended with his son saying "My God, my God..." LEE HANSON could not say why the call ended abruptly. He did not know whether his son had hung up or whether the phone malfunctioned. He said he resisted the temptation to call his son right back because he did not want to place him in any more serious danger by having his cell phone ring on the plane. PETER HANSON gave no additional information as to the identity, nationality, physical description, accents, etc. of the highjackers. LEE HANSON took two sheets of notes during the two phone calls and he provided these notes to interviewing agents. LEE HANSON indicated he could recall no additional information or background noise from the telephone calls other than the aforementioned sound of an unidentified woman screaming.

THOMAS EDWARD MURAWSKI. White male, bornf

, was interviewed by the undersigned pursuant to Rapid Start Lead BA 1484. After being advised of the identity of the interviewing agents and the nature of the interview, he provided the following information: MURAWSKI said he read a Baltimore Sun article about box cutters being utilized by the highjackers of the four aircraft on September 11, 2001. He recalled approximately two weeks prior to the terrorist attacks, that three middle eastern men came to his store asking to purchase box cutters. He described the men as all being short and approximately the same height, each having a medium build. He said one of the men had large curls in his hair. Only one of the men spoke, and MURAWSKI said this person was slightly shorter than the others. One of the men who did not speak wore a camouflage military-type jacket. MURAWSKI said he thought this was unusual as it was warm outside. The one man who spoke asked for metal box cutters but was advised that the store had none in stock. MURAWSKI showed the men plastic box cutters, specifically Tuff Hand Tools plastic knife cutter set. He said the men did not seem interested. MURAWSKI said he would check in the back of the store for other plastic box cutters or tools, but the men seem agitated that there were not any metal box cutters in stock. MURAWSKI said he was not sure if the men purchased anything. He said that he did not have any indication that anyone came back to the store to purchase metal box cutters. MURAWSKI believed the men came to the store on Monday, August 27, or Tuesday, August 28, 2001. MURAWSKI said that there had been six packs of the abovementioned plastic box cutters when the three men came in the store. On the week of September 2, 2001, he noticed that all the packs were gone from the shelf. He found one package containing six knives that had been opened and three knives, two small and one large, were missing. MURAWSKI noted that his store receives new

MURAWSKI was shown the photographs provided by the undersigned and he said he recognized photograph number five, AHMED ALHAZNAWI, as one of the men who came in attempting to purchase box cutters. He also recognized photographs number two, MOHAMED ATTA. and three, SALEM AL HAZMI, as being familiar, but was unable to provide any further information. MURAWSKI said photograph "C", FNU LNU, was familiar, but the individual he thought he recognized did not have a moustache. He said he may have seen the male in the plaid shirt from photograph six, MAJED MOQED, at a gas station, approximately one month ago, across the street from the mall, but he was not sure. MURAWSKI was shown the second group of photographs, but did not recognize any of the individuals. MURAWSKI said that there are two European-type women who come into the store regularly on either Thursday, Friday, or Saturday nights. These women wear Muslim clothing. He said that these women did not come to the store this past weekend. This seemed unusual to him. MURAWSKI said his store only accepts cash and checks, He provided the undersigned a list of people who worked at the store the week of August 26, 2001. The following are the names of the individuals:

MURAWSKI said his store is the smallest in the chain of Dollar Tree's. He provided a list of other dollar tree stores in Maryland, highlighting the stores closest to the mall. [PDF page 2]
